Ask.com Goes 3D

This summer while you're researching for new web resources for your classes search Ask.com.

Ask.com has a new interface. Its sleek, new interface now has the capability to contain links to video clips, news, maps & directions, blogs, and other multimedia resources right on your main search results page creating a 'multimedia' search result page.

Google announced its plans to add video content, links to books, and news to its search pages last month.

Ask.com has not only redesigned its site, its' morphed technologies. Instead of just stacking results 10 per page 'Ask 3D' search result pages are divided into a 3 pane view with links to images, video clips and news on the right hand side and ideas on how to improve your search on the left column. You can search different multimedia without leaving one page.

Both search engines hope that these latest innovations will make your research much easier to find what you’re looking for.
